The ruling will shape the course of research and testing, and it may alter the willingness of businesses to invest in understanding genetic material.
This is a good decision, in my humble opinion:
Up until now, if you were going to be tested for a common breast cancer gene, it could be done only by Myriad Genetics. Second opinions weren’t an option, as Myriad held the patent for testing for that particular gene.
So frustrated this morning…. why does a doctor’s office schedule appointments a full 30 minutes before the doctor actually arrives?!
Kurt Braunohler raised $6,000 on Kickstarter to “hire a man in a plane to write stupid things in the sky.” I backed this project.

Growing up, my best friend and I used to take bike rides to purposefully get lost and find interesting things/places. We’d keep track of turns and landmarks to get back.
I tried it recently and the urge to pull out the phone is disappointingly, unhappily huge for at least one person… to find where we are, to find a better place to get “lost” to….
It’s pretty sad.
